What is Farah Rocks New Beginnings about?

Farah Hajjar is beginning sixth grade at the science-focused Einstein Academy when a devastating house fire leaves her family in temporary accommodation.

She finds relief in writing and decides to start a creative writing club, hoping to give other pupils a place to share their stories. But convincing her new school to support the club will not be easy. Can Farah rebuild her confidence and find a fresh start?
